The purpose of Acupuncture Therapy is to re-open the normal energy flow, thereby relieving the symptoms by stimulating specific sites ( Acupuncture points ) on the meridians.[ 18 ] In Acupuncture treatment, stainless steel needles, usually ranging from 0.22 to 0.25 mm in diameter, are inserted into relevant Acupuncture points to stimulate the affected meridians. A needling sensation known as de qi sensation , in which the patient feels heaviness, numbness, or tightness, is often required during an Acupuncture treatment. Length and frequency of treatment vary according to the condition being treated. Chronic conditions usually require a longer treatment period. Typically, two or three sessions per week are required initially and may decrease to once a week after several weeks of treatment. Needles are typically left in place for 15 to 30 minutes after insertion, and their effects may be augmented with manual or electrical stimulation and/ or heat (e.g., moxibustion ).

Acupuncture and electroacupuncture: evidence-based treatment guidelines.
Acupuncture and electroacupuncture Therapy have been utilized to treat a broad spectrum of illnesses and injuries, and have proven particularly effective at treating anatomically localized neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) injuries caused by repetitive stress or trauma. The anatomical NMS injuries that are most typically treated by Acupuncture and electroacupuncture are due to trauma, sports injuries, auto accidents, and work-related repetitive stress injuries of the tendon, ligament, and bursa, and injuries in and around joint areas and the soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, etc) surrounding the spine. Acupuncture and electroacupuncture are also commonly used to treat chronic or post-operative pain, headaches, nausea, menstrual-related pain, and other conditions that may be anatomically, neurologically, or physiologically based.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Program: Acupuncture
Relatively few high-quality, randomized, controlled trials have been published on the effects of Acupuncture. Such studies should be designed in a rigorous manner to allow evaluation of the effectiveness of Acupuncture. Such studies should include experienced Acupuncture practitioners to design and deliver appropriate interventions. Emphasis should be placed on studies that examine Acupuncture as used in clinical practice and that respect the theoretical basis for Acupuncture Therapy.
